Ministry of the Mundane

Dec. 8th

Ministry of the Mundane is an art collaboration with a focus on the veneration of everyday objects. 

• The Ministry includes:

Calli Rampton - Paper-mache

Aimee Miller - Tissue Box Top Talismans and mixed media collage

and new convert: Brooke Lack - Resin Rubbish Sculptures

Aimee’s mixed media pieces layer objects and bits of ephemera to conjure an emotional miasma and create work that evokes the ordinary and the sublime. Aimee will offer a variety of mixed media work including a series of collages made on the pages of a 1923 London guidebook, and talismans created with  cardboard tissue box tops.

• Custom tissue box top talismans will be offered:

Not winning at life? Constantly overhearing suggestions that you are not living up to your potential? Are you a disappointment to your parents?

I’ve got good news for you! Forget the council of your life coach and therapist—you don’t need to “do the work” to improve your life. All you need are a few simple spells and talismans to rocket you from that lounger in your Mom’s basement to the life of your dreams.

You aren't a complete disaster? You can still benefit from a custom talisman designed especially for you. Just imagine the warm glow of improved cash flow, or the joy of having a good hair day, everyday.

Order your custom Tissue Box Top Talisman and revitalize your life today! Guaranteed!

Calli Rampton - Paper-mache

and new convert: Brooke Lack - Resin Rubbish Sculptures

Brooke wants to pay homage to the things we hold onto. She takes the bibs and bobs of our everyday and makes them into something wry, whimsical and weird. This study of our dust bins and medicine cabinets is oddly intimate, sometimes disgusting and maybe a wee bit beautiful?

Custom rubbish sculptures can be commissioned! What are we to do with the baby teeth, the lego scraps, the Barbie parts and expired Prozac? Let’s put them in a jello mold of course!
